The Countdown Is On

For the next week (or two) I will apologize if I don’t update you as often as I normally do.  As you know, Wesley and I will be saying “I DO” next week, and we are so very excited!  With that said, we have lots of last minute errands to run & things to do before the big day!! 

While I had a somewhat quiet weekend last weekend, Wesley worked his butt off both Saturday & Sunday last weekend.  Saturday was pretty cold outside, so I stayed indoors & fixed a nice big pot of stew, cornbread, and a cake.  After that I got out my new sewing machine my great Aunt gave me & started learning.  Boy do I have lots to learn!  But, it was a lot of fun.  I’m starting to sew new projects & things for around the home and for gifts so I’m definitely excited that I got a nice sewing machine that does all kinds of neat things.  While I was inside, Wesley was out in the elements.  He & his dad moved some cows Saturday then went & searched for some that we needed to get out of our big pasture.  Then he came and got me and we both went out to feed the calves. 

Sunday morning he got up early and was out of the house by 7 AM to go help the neighbor gather their pasture so they could ship cattle.  He didn’t get home until after 7:30 PM that day.  He was flat exhausted, and I don’t blame him.  It was cold, it was raining off & on, and he hadn’t had anything to eat except for breakfast that morning.  I was so glad to have him home so I could take care of him after his long day.

While the beginning of this week seemed to drag on, the end is going by quite nicely.  Tomorrow is FRIDAY and I am excited for the weekend!!  This weekend we have to go to Miles City Saturday to drop our rings off so my wedding band can be put together with my engagement ring, and I’m having something special done to Wesley’s ring as well!  Sunday we are getting up and heading to Billings so I can go pick up my wedding dress!  I can’t wait to see it once it has the final minor alterations done to it.  I can’t wait to share pictures with everyone as well!! 

I hope that I will have pictures soon after the wedding, but if not I’ll share them as soon as I get them!  And just in case I don’t get to write before next weekend, please say a prayer for Wesley and me that our wedding goes well, and the weather cooperates (to the best of its ability)!  The next time I write I’ll have the letters “MRS” in front of my name and Wesley will have bling on his left hand!  :)
